EUROHAPTICS Call for participation

Eurohaptics is a major international conference and the primary European meeting for researchers in the field of human haptics and touch enabled computer applications. This diverse field covers research in areas including human haptic perception, haptic hardware, through end-applications such as surgical simulation, rehabilitation robotics, communication, and haptic feedback for design and applied arts. Eurohaptics 2014 is part of the activities taking place under the auspices of the Eurohaptics Society (http://eurohaptics.org/) The Eurohaptics conference was incepted in 2001, Birmingham, UK and was held in Edinburgh, UK; Dublin, Ireland; and Munich, Germany before joining the IEEE Haptics Symposium every other year to form the World- Haptics Conference (Pisa,Italy; Tsukuba, Japan; Salt Lake City, USA; Istanbul, Turkey). In the alternate years, Eurohaptics was held in Paris, France; Madrid, Spain; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Tampere, Findland. Eurohaptics 2014, to be held in the City of Versailles, France, will provide researchers from academia and industry with an opportunity to present ideas and establish contacts with other haptics researchers from around the world. Haptic hardware and software developers will be able to gain information about the latest haptics research, as well as to demonstrate their creations to a wider audience. Eurohaptics 2014 will take place June 24-27, 2014 (workshops, June 24).
